Watching and hoping all goes well, and the surfers have fun after a tragic free weather system.

Yes, do be prepared & hold on tight should she come closer than you think. You surely never know with hurricanes!

Matnikstym lives in an area that might see some weather out of this.

Here's a satellite image of where it is relative to the islands. Right now, meteorologists are projecting that it will come within 70 miles of the southern part of the Big Island by late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

Big Island schools closed Tuesday. State parks closing tonight. Volcano National Park closing campgrounds, trails, Chain of Crater road. Even if the eye never actually made landfall, most all of The Big Island will be getting substantial winds and rain, with the south and south-east sides getting storm surges. Up to 15" of rain is predicted. If we are all lucky, the reservoirs will be replenished and there will be just a big rain. Keeping my fingers crossed for Hilo, Puna, Hamakua Coast, Kau, and South Kona regions where it may be the most severe.

DH and I are on Kauai now, and were on the BI last week. It was gorgeous weather there, this is hard to believe. I am praying that everyone and everything is safe on the BI, and that nothing more than rain/wind hit the island.

Yay, Flossie downgraded to a 2.

Though I hear you about the real estate market and have made jokes that I'll need another Iniki to get in so long as not a single person is hurt - lol!

Earthquake, hot volcano, Perseid meteor shower, Hurricane Flossie- The Big Island is a very happening place.

I think Flossie will turn out to be a big wet storm and am sending all my good karma wishes to TBI.

Flossie Downgraded to Category 1

2:51 a.m. ET

Hurricane Flossie was downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, although Hawaii's Big Island remained under a hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning.
=======================================

I hope that all this water will help alleviate Hawaii's drought (without the flooding, of course) and, by extension, the fire problem there of late.
